The Ryder Cup cranks up on Friday morning on U.S. soil at Chaska, Minnesota. The weather looks like it will be awesome. Clear throughout, crisp mornings and highs in the upper 60's.
USA Captain, Davis Love III, and European Captain, Darren Clarke, will be announcing later today (Thursday) the four-ball teams for Friday morning's matches. Friday afternoon's four-ball teams will be announced after the morning's rounds.
Tiger Woods is one of Love's "assistants" this week so you will see him roaming around the course with earplugs in and relaying information. Other "Vice Captains" (should the word "vice" be used in reference to sex addict, Tiger Woods?) for the U.S. team include Tom Lehman, Jim Furyk, Steve Stricker, and Bubbles Watson.

...here's the bio snippet on our Kooch:
One of the most consistently solid players on the PGA Tour – 76 top 10s from 2007-2016 – Kuchar will make his fourth start in a Ryder Cup this September. In three previous appearances, Kuchar has a 4-5-2 record. The seven-time PGA Tour winner is also hoping to be a member of a winning Ryder Cup team for the first time in his career. His strong suit is the four-balls format, where he has gone 2-1-2. Kuchar won the bronze medal in the Rio Olympics, the only American in men's golf to make the podium. Kuchar was selected by Davis Love III as a Captain's Pick on Sept. 12.
